losi xxx sct 2wd rolling chassis

[jpmatrix]

Planning on having a go at short course and decided to go for this kit.

I currently have a 7.5t brushless motor ( 540 ) and a speed passion lpf 2.0gt and wnt to know if this setup is any good. It says on the modelsport website that the kit spec says 540 type motor only. Im just a bit worried that the esc and motor wont be up for the job.

Would I be better off getting a 550 motor, im guessing the 550 means its a longer can and will it fit in the losi xxx?

What do you guys run in 2wd short course and what advice can you give me regarding motor and esc combo?


cheers
